WASHINGTON, 19 de mayo de 2017 – El Directorio Ejecutivo del Banco Mundial (BM) aprobó ayer un préstamo de US$25 millones de financiamiento adicional al Proyecto de Competitividad Rural (Comrural), para contribuir a incrementar la productividad y competitividad de pequeños productores rurales a través de la implementación de planes de negocio que permitan mejorar y agregar valor a sus productos, así como conectarse directamente con el mercado. El proyecto se basa en un modelo de alianzas productivas basado en cadenas de valor, entre cuatro actores: las organizaciones de productores; las instituciones financieras privadas para que los productores puedan acceder a recursos económicos necesarios para realizar inversiones; los aliados técnicos, que proveen asesoría tanto en el campo como en la comercialización de los productos y por último; los socios comerciales, que garantizan la adquisición de productos y servicios de los productores sin intermediarios. “Comrural es el proyecto emblemático del Gobierno de Honduras para promover la competitividad agrícola en el país y se ha convertido en una parte integral de la estrategia del Gobierno para vincular a los pequeños productores con los mercados nacionales e internacionales”, señaló el Ministro de Agricultura, Jacobo Paz. “Comrural es un pilar de la Alianza para el Corredor Seco, el programa para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y del Plan 20/20, para mejorar la agricultura como motor de la creación de empleos sostenibles y el desarrollo económico”, dijo por su parte, Marco Bográn, Director de INVEST-H, la agencia que implementará el proyecto. Además de los siete departamentos del Occidente del país donde el proyecto se implementa (Ocotepeque, Copán, Intibucá, Lempira, Comayagua, Santa Bárbara, La Paz), el financiamiento adicional va a apoyar actividades en seis nuevos departamentos situados al norte, centro y sur de Honduras (Colón, Atlántida, Cortés, Francisco Morazán, Choluteca, El Paraíso). El financiamiento adicional espera beneficiar a 5,500 hogares rurales y financiar unos 70 planes de negocios durante los próximos tres años.  “A través del financiamiento Comrural, el Banco Mundial busca apoyar a las poblaciones más desfavorecidas a mejorar sus condiciones de vida como elemento fundamental para poder escapar de la pobreza”, señaló Giorgio Valentini, representante del Banco Mundial en Honduras. Este nuevo apoyo pone especial énfasis en aumentar la capacidad de adaptación al cambio climático, un aspecto de gran importancia en Honduras debido a su alta vulnerabilidad climática, que tiene efectos directos en el aumento de los niveles de pobreza y la inseguridad alimentaria. El financiamiento adicional apoyará la promoción de mejores prácticas agrícolas, así como la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías que permitan fortalecer la capacidad de los productores para hacer frente a condiciones climáticas cada día más exigentes. El préstamo tiene un plazo de amortización de 25 años incluyendo un período de gracia de cinco años.

WASHINGTON, May 19, 2017 – The World Bank Board of Directors approved a US$25 million loan yesterday. This loan is additional financing for the Rural Competitiveness Project (Comrural) to contribute to increasing productivity and competitiveness of small-scale rural producers through the implementation of business plans to improve and add value to their products as well as to directly connect them with the market. The project encourages productive partnerships based on value chains among four actors: producers’ organizations; private financial institutions to give producers access to the economic resources necessary to make investments; technical partners, who provide advice both in the field and in product marketing; and commercial partners, who guarantee the purchase of producers’ products and services without intermediaries.  “Comrural is the emblematic project of the Government of Honduras to promote agricultural competitiveness in the country and has become an integral part of the government strategy to link small-scale producers with national and international markets,” said Agriculture Minister Jacobo Paz. “Comrural is a pillar of the Seco Corridor Partnership, the program for food and nutritional security, and of Plan 20/20 to improve agriculture as a driver of sustainable jobs and economic development,” said Marco Bográn, Director of INVEST-H, the implementing agency of the project. In addition to the seven departments in the western part of the country where the project is implemented (Ocotepeque, Copán, Intibucá, Lempira, Comayagua, Santa Bárbara and La Paz), the additional financing will support activities in six new departments located in northern, central and southern Honduras (Colón, Atlántida, Cortés, Francisco Morazán, Choluteca and El Paraíso). With the additional financing, an estimated 5,500 new rural households will benefit and 70 business plans will be financed over the next three years.  “By financing Comrural, the World Bank seeks to support disadvantaged populations in improving their living conditions as a key component of efforts to escape poverty,” said Giorgio Valentini, World Bank representative in Honduras. This new project focuses on increasing the capacity for adaptation to climate change, which is crucial in Honduras given its high vulnerability to climate events, which have a direct impact on increasing poverty rates and food insecurity. The additional financing will support the promotion of better agricultural practices, as well as the incorporation of new technologies to strengthen producers’ capacity to face increasingly demanding climate conditions. The loan has a maturity period of 25 years, including a five-year grace period.

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2017 – The World Bank Group has renewed its commitment to preventing violence against women and girls, investing a minimum of $3.5 million over five years in innovations designed to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim made the announcement at the Innovations to Prevent Gender-Based Violence awards ceremony during the WBG-IMF Spring Meetings. In partnership with the Sexual Violence Research Initiative, 10 teams were awarded a total of $1.1 million to support their GBV prevention and response projects and research. “We cannot stand by while so many women suffer harm that’s completely preventable, but this is also an issue that goes right to the heart of our goals to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity,” Kim said, noting that the epidemic can cost countries as much as 3.7% of gross domestic product (GDP). “The World Bank Group is committed to working tirelessly to help its client countries prevent gender-based violence.” Using the Development Marketplace Crowdsourcing Method, Kim said the WBG is looking to the award winners’ research and tested projects to help advance that goal. The winning proposals include tackling sexual harassment on college campuses and on public transportation, addressing child marriage and an emerging form of GBV: cyber violence. Cyber violence is pervasive, and women and girls are disproportionately affected, yet very little research exists on this problem especially in low and middle income countries, said award winner Pamela Lilleston, a social and behavioral scientist at the International Center for Research on Women, whose team project aims to develop a set of standards that will be tested in Uganda, and later used to inform effective cyber violence policies and programs. Technology is at the core of another winning proposal designed to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) in Dollo Ado refugee camp in Ethiopia. The research project aims to explore the use of podcasts to disseminate information about inter-partner violence, and generate new knowledge on the use of technology-based solutions to GBV in humanitarian settings. “Podcasts we think are an interesting solution in this context because they can be broadcast in safe environments such as health facilities and so on, but they can also be downloaded there on simple mobile devices and shared person to person,” said awardee Vandana Sharma, a public health researcher based at the Harvard TC Chan School of Public Health. “We will be training men and women in the communities in digital storytelling and in podcasting, and they will develop the content themselves in the local language with messaging that’s appropriate for their contexts.” Awardee Renzo Peña, co-founder and vice president of DB Peru, a healthcare NGO, said his team’s project is in response to the concerns of the Amazon Basin community of Peru, which reports high rates of violence with no resources to address it. Recent figures show that 79% of women between 18 and 29 report experiencing sexual violence at some point in their lives. As a result, the first primary preventative strategy for GBV in the rural region of the Lower Napo River, was developed. It is also the first community mobilization project of its type in Peru, and Peña said he plans to share his research throughout the region. “We have been working for 15 years in the region, and we work very closely with the leaders in the community who will be trained so they can bring that knowledge to their own communities, and thus be able to prevent and eliminate violence in the communities themselves,” he said.  Awardee Emma Fulu, founder and director of The Equity Institute, said despite data that show that Solomon Islands has one of the highest rates of violence in the world, it is still the most under-researched regions. Her team project focuses on prevention of GBV by researching root causes and social norms that contribute to violence against women and girls by developing the Solomon Islands’ first community-led, locally developed comprehensive violence prevention program. “Because of the high rates of violence, we know we need to look at how to stop violence before it starts, trying to understand what are the root causes, what are the social norms that are really underpinning violence against women in this region,” Fulu said. “I think what’s really exciting about this particular project is that it’s filling a number of major evidence gaps, not just in the Solomon Islands or the Pacific, but really globally.” Caren Grown, World Bank Group senior director for gender, highlighted prevention as an important part of the GBV learning community facilitated by the Development Marketplace. “Of course we have learning on response and how we help and work with survivors, but the most important learning is on prevention,” she said. “Without prevention, we can’t ever solve this particular problem, so bringing people together to experiment, to test, to learn is really critical.” 2017 Winners:Sexual Harassment among Jordanian College Students: Pilot Testing a Promising Primary Prevention Intervention (Jordan, Middle East/ North Africa)Team: Information and Research Center King Hussein Foundation and Emory UniversityGender Equity Model Promoting Women’s Economic Empowerment and Fighting Gender Based Violence (Egypt, Middle East/North Africa)Team: The American University of CairoGender based Violence Prevention in the Amazon of Peru Project (Peru, Latin America)Team: University College London; and DB PeruBuilding the Evidence Base for ‘Safe Families’ – a Comprehensive Community-led model for Violence Prevention in Solomon Islands.

BRASÍLIA, 22 de maio de 2017 – O Banco Mundial e o Ministério do Meio Ambiente assinaram, nesta segunda-feira, o acordo de empréstimo para a implementação do projeto Cadastro Ambiental Rural no Bioma Cerrado, que é parte integrante do Plano de Ação do Programa de Investimento Florestal do Brasil (FIP-Brasil). Entre as ações previstas pelo FIP: CAR está a promoção do Cadastro Ambiental Rural em nove Estados do Bioma Cerrado e a consolidação do Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Ambiental Rural (SICAR).  A iniciativa conta com o apoio financeiro de US$ 32.48 milhões do Banco Mundial. “O cadastro ambiental rural tem se mostrado extremamente importante para a gestão das florestas brasileiras, principalmente no Bioma Cerrado, que responde por grande parte da produção agrícola nacional, mas cujo desmatamento ilegal é significativo”, afirmou o diretor do Banco Mundial para o Brasil, Martin Raiser, durante a cerimônia com o ministro José Sarney Filho. “O Banco reforça seu compromisso com o Governo Brasileiro e, principalmente, com a agenda ambiental. Estamos realmente confiantes que a nossa persistência em concretizar esta operação trará excelentes frutos para o Brasil”. O Bioma do Cerrado abrange um quarto do território do país (2 milhões de quilômetros quadrados), representados por 11 estados da região central do Brasil. Ao longo de sua extensão, apresenta 23 tipos de vegetação, compostas por savanas tropicais, florestas e pastagens, sendo farta fonte de estoque de carbono e recursos hídricos. Cerca de 42,7 milhões de pessoas, ou 22% da população brasileira, vivem no Cerrado, ocupado em grande parte por propriedades privadas. Através da iniciativa, espera-se que os proprietários rurais familiares tenham suas reservas legais e áreas de preservação permanente registradas no cadastro ambiental rural e que adotem medidas para a recuperação de áreas degradadas deste bioma. Aprovado pelo Subcomitê da FIP em 2012, o Plano de Investimento Brasileiro (BIP, na sigla em inglês) inclui quatro projetos voltados para a melhoria da gestão ambiental e para a adoção de práticas agrícolas de baixo carbono no Bioma Cerado, O Projeto FIP: CAR tem por objetivo promover o cadastro ambiental rural de propriedades familiares em nove dos 11 estados que fazem parte do Bioma do Cerrado: Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Maranhão, Paraná, São Paulo e Distrito Federal. O programa permitirá a redução da pressão nas florestas remanescentes, a redução de emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GHG, na sigla em inglês) e o aumento do sequestro de carbono (CO2). Para atingir suas metas, serão promovidas as seguintes ações:Capacitação das Agências Ambientais Estaduais (SEAs, da sigla em inglês), para que possam realizar o Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR)Registro das propriedades rurais familiares em municípios selecionadosApoio a Recuperação de Reservas Legais e APPs de propriedades rurais familiares Este projeto é financiado pelo Fundo Estratégico do Clima (SCF), associado ao Fundo de Investimento das Florestas (FIP), e tem vencimento de 40 anos e 10 anos de carência.Para obter mais informações, visite: www.worldbank.org/brVisite-nos no Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bancomundialbrasilAtualize-se via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bancomundialbr Assista o nosso canal no YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/alcregion2010
